Bandai 1/144 HG Heindree

Grassley's mass-production mainstay

The Heindree is Grassley Defense Systems' all-purpose mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury, the CFP-010, latest in the Hein series and a common sight in the hands of Asticassia's Grassley House students. Where its sister unit the Heingra was built specifically for anti-Gundam combat, the Heindree is the broader, general-purpose machine, built for the classroom and the private sector as much as the duel court.

A solid pick for anyone building out the Asticassia school factions rather than chasing the lead Gundams alone.

Build difficulty

Bandai rates this Skill Level 1 on the box, very easy to complete. Parts are mainly post-fitted rather than glued in during assembly, specifically to avoid pinching, so it snaps together cleanly straight from the runner. A genuinely approachable kit for a newer builder, or a quick weeknight build for anyone else.

Technical highlights

The ball joints at the neck and waist are designed with extra clearance so the Heindree can tilt forward and back, not just side to side, which is a common limitation on kits at this price point. Its round shield is fixed to the left arm, while the lantern shield on its right arm carries a beam handgun and an electromagnetic lance that can swing round to the front for a guard pose. The backpack carries three thruster nozzles for a mobility silhouette that reads as bulkier than most 1/144 HG kits its size.

What Makes This Kit Special

  • Forward and backward neck and waist tilt: the ball joints are cut with clearance for tilting poses most kits this size can't manage.
  • Dual shield loadout: a round shield on the left arm and a lantern shield with an integrated beam handgun on the right.
  • Swing-forward electromagnetic lance: the right-arm weapon rotates round to a front guard position.
  • Post-fit assembly: parts are mainly fitted after the fact rather than snapped in during the build, which avoids the pinched-joint problem common on budget HG kits.
  • Three-nozzle backpack: a bulkier mobility silhouette than most kits at this price and scale.

What to Watch For

A general web sweep found limited dedicated build coverage for this specific kit beyond the manufacturer's own feature list, standard for a mass-production mob-suit release rather than a lead Gundam. No structural or fit issues turned up in the sources checked. Genuinely thin coverage rather than a confirmed clean build, so treat this as an honest gap in independent reviews rather than a guarantee.

Builder Tips: Because parts are mainly post-fitted rather than snapped together during assembly, dry-fit the shield and lance attachments before final assembly to plan your preferred pose. The forward/backward neck and waist tilt is worth using, most kits this size only tilt side to side.

Build Notes

Snap-fit assembly, no glue required. Nippers and a hobby knife cover the tool requirements. A quick build, well suited to an afternoon. Recommended age 8 years and up.

Assembly Guide

Skill Level.1. Most adults & children can assemble Skill Level 1 kits with little to no difficulty. Very basic hobby tools are recommended including a pair of nippers, a hobby knife, but are not essential. No Glue is needed for these kits. Kits are all snap together build and most parts can be removed by twisting and pushing without the need to snip with nippers.

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Mecha series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Mecha kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.

Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who uses the Heindree in the show?

It's Grassley Defense Systems' general-purpose mass-production suit, flown by several Grassley House students at Asticassia School of Technology rather than one lead character.

How easy is this kit to build?

Skill Level 1 on the Bandai box, very easy to complete. Snap-fit, no glue needed, and parts are mainly post-fitted to avoid pinching during assembly.

What weapons come with the Heindree?

A round shield for the left arm, a lantern shield with a built-in beam handgun for the right, and an electromagnetic lance that swings forward for a guard pose.

Is this suitable for a first-time or younger builder?

Yes. Bandai rates it ages 8 and up on the box, and Skill Level 1 assembly means no glue and no pinched-joint frustration.

The Heindree is Grassley's general-purpose, broader-use suit. The Heindree Sturm is the same Hein-series line specialised for anti-Gundam combat.
